Government Shutdown Concern

I think it's gonna be mostly ok now the Government has shut down. Mild inconveniences and well paid Government workers will eventually get paid.
This gives us all some time to really look at the new open market for Healthcare Insurance.
The thing that worries me the most is WIC, as a breastfeeding advocate, I know it is weird to promote Baby Formula, but some babies are going to go without, if the checks are issued. Please let me know if you or a person you know is reliant on WIC. I will put my efforts into pulling together resources to make sure our under 5 year olds, particularly formula-fed babies on WIC are continuing to be fed!!! 
What are our current resources in town? 
I know the church on Apple Church Road has a food bank? 
Let's prepare for the worst locally. Any other efforts started?
